The Senate on Saturday confirmed Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security, at a time when border security and illegal immigration are top priorities.
The Senate on Saturday voted to confirm South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, making her the fourth of President Donald Trump’s nominees to win approval from the chamber. The vote was 59–34, with all Republicans present voting yes and seven Democrats voting yes. Noem had been expected to be confirmed comfortably, having faced no significant issues during her confirmation hearing.
Noem responded by saying that she and Homan 'work very well together and talk and communicate all the time. And we'll be working together on a daily basis when we're in our positions under the new administration. And I would say there's no authority being planned to be taken away from the department or myself if I'm in the role.' Fox News' Julia Johnson contributed to this report.
